These images appeared on my wall as I follow a snake ID page on Facebook. The guy obviously killed a ball python, someone’s pet, after saying it was a big copperhead in a Little League bathroom. Snake ID pages are there so this type of killing doesn't occur. Hopefully the man will take a look at the page and learn something before just assuming a snake is dangerous just because it is a snake.

The guy obviously doesn’t know his snakes, which is understandable. The comments though, of which there are currently 31, are telling, especially after someone pointed out that the snake was a ball python. It is really sad that this type of snake killing continues out of fear, ignorance, and doubt. So what do you think?
